I'm having bad colds with a runny nose. Can I take Flumucil and Sinutab together? Flumucil is supposed to be taken once a day and the Sinutab dosage is every 4 hours. Can these two medicines be taken together or does taking Sinutab conflict with Flumucil in managing the cough, phlegm and colds?

I have been on fluoxetine for eight months. I am on 40 mg/day. I've always been prone to sinus infections, but my sinus problems have gotten worse and now I have this pain in my sinuses everyday. I realized that I started having worse sinus issues around the same time I started taking fluoxetine - its even documented in my doctor's notes that I have been complaining of sinus pains and infections since about 7 months ago. She says it's a rare side effect so fluoxetine is probably not the culprit, but the sinus pain has gotten so bad that I'm willing to stop taking the meds (the other side effects like the nightmares are driving me nuts too). Anyway, has anyone else had sinus problems related to fluoxetine or Prozac? ## Hello, Alaska! How are you? Actually, they aren't...

I have about 8 of the sulfameth/trimeth that were left over. I've had a horrible sinus problem for years and my Dr wont give me antibiotics, only gives me Fluticasone. Looked up my nostril once that's it. Fluticasone is useless. Very thick mucus, smells bad. Green, yellow, even kinda gray. Maybe I need a specialist I don't know but I will try anything to get rid of this. I have to blow my nose so hard I'm afraid I'm gonna have a stroke Lol. Seriously though, I can't handle this anymore. ## I think it might be time for you to see an Ear, Nose, & Throat specialist to try and get to the root of the problem. While discolored mucous does not always mean an infection is present, contrary to popular belief as documented by the NIH, sometimes it means your body is fi...

I have fluid in my ear for over a year now. My NP tried me all the meds she could but nothing as worked. She finally sent me to an ENT and he has tried me on several meds as well as 2 surgerys( in med injection and a tube in the ear, but nothing as worked. I'm scheduled to a Cortizone injection in a couple of weeks(ugh!!), but my NP has just put me on Amox and Singular for an upper respiratory thing,and I thought it might help for my sinuses and maybe the fluid in my ear but no,it hasn't. I'm going run out the singular soon. Would taking some Benedryl with Amox possibly dry up that fluid and give me back my hearing? I need some relief! I really don't want to get that shot in my ear. He did that when he put the tube in and that hurt like hell. If I can avoid that I want to.

I was prescribed prednisone and an antibiotic for a sinus infection. The Methylprednisone came in the 6-day pack of 4 mg pills. However, my prescription said "1 tablet a day" so I assumed I should take 1 a day for 21 days instead of following the instructions inside the pack. Is this a normal dosage? ## No, usually it is still prescribed to be taken as instructed on the package, however, only your doctor can say definitively. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, insomnia, nervousness, fluid retention and acne. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I was prescribed metylprednisone for smell loss. After the first dose my remaining smell started to fade away. So I stopped taking them. Is this common?

I had to take Xarelto due to two sinus venous thrombosis in my head. 8 weeks of heparin injections showed no side effects. But with the first day of taking Xarelto my body reacted by retaining water. Within the first three weeks I gained 24.46 lb hill exercising 5 times a week and eating as I always did. After retaining more and more water I stopped taking it after three months. I started with a weight of 120 lb at a height of 5''8 and now I weigh 157 lb. I have to ad that I started taking it in the middle of March and stopped taking it at the end of June. I was not able to loose any water/weight. I eat less than I always did before even while I exercise. All doctors couldn't find the one thing that changed through Xarelto. Has anybody ever experienced something like this wh...

Have had shots and pills of Levofloxaci and prednisone with Guaiatussin cough surup. I feel better after taking but keeps coming back. I have been using Fluticasone Propionate nasal spray and allergy aller-technology everyday too. Is it time for a specialist? ## Yes, I think it is likely time for you to see an ENT. According to NIH reports, there is usually some underlying cause for such frequent repeated issues. How often do you take these medications? The Fluticasone is usually used twice a day, in severe cases. The Aller-tec, might not be the right medication to help you. You may need something stronger.

I have been on this for 5 days. The last 3 days I have been having hot flushes and they have been getting more frequent. 8 in total today. I have never had these before and it's scary. I take it at 11 am. By about 10 pm I have a headache but no more flushes. I am going to call my doctor tomorrow morning before its time to take it. But I read 0.02% of people get this and also it is prescribed for the exact problem I have. Any suggestions. It starts with a really hot feeling in my sinuses and that lasts for about a minute. Then I get this slow cool feeling under my skin that travels down my body. I go really pale and my body feels like it is melting with the amount of sweat coming off me.
